Question Mounting and Balanceing? NO WAY!!

Ok so i got my hellah nice 5Z Fire's and I got the tires seperate. So I need to get the mounted and balanced. np. :P But WTF! Goodyear and firestone want 35$ per wheel. I know thats overpriced. I found a dude that wants 12.50 which is more reasonable. Anyway my question is how long should it take? I think im gunna end up droping them off somewhere and then picking them up and just putting them on myself cause i have a ****ed up work schedule. Anyway any opinions will be nice.

12.50 is good.... Tire Rack charged me 15 and I paid 13 at a local place... thats about as cheap as you'll get. If they're loose and you just want them mounted and you put them back in the car and mount them at home yourself, you can get it done in as little as 20 minutes. If you want them to put it on the car, it usually takes longer since you gotta wait for a lift. And make sure they use the stick-on weights that go behind the spokes, not the hammer on ones.

depending on how much they have to do, if they're busy, about an hour to hour-30. if they're not busy about 20-30 mins.

About 30 mins. between 15-20 bucks is a fair price. Free is better, but how ever you can get those tires on.
